Method

Garlic Confit

Combine garlic and Wesson Canola Oil in a small pot and cover with a lid or foil. Use just enough oil to cover the garlic.
Cook over low heat until just a few small bubbles are visible.
Continue to cook, stirring occasionally for 60-90 minutes until garlic is a pale golden color.
Remove from heat and strain, reserving garlic and oil.

Mushroom and Leek Filling

In a large frying pan, sauté leeks with garlic oil over medium heat until just translucent and beginning to brown.
Add mushroom and thyme to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are soft and the excess water gas evaporated.
Remove from heat.

Assembly Method

Preheat oven to 350°F. Divide the dough balls, rollin to a 10” circle and using a pie pan as a guide cut out 9” round dough. Transfer the dough and parchment paper onto a baking sheet. Roughly chop and mash garlic into a paste. Spread half of the grated cheese followed by all of the mushroom and leek filling over the garlic. Top with remaining cheese. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and lightly pinch to seal. Bake at 350°F for 30-40 minutes or until crust is cooked through and filling is bubbling. Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon.
